Classic Greek seafood taverna near the New Port with fresh grilled fish, big portions, and fair prices, though service consistency, smoking tolerance, and portion value on mixed platters can vary.

Restaurant Summary

Set just off the New Port, Dora Fish Taverna feels like a straightforward Greek spot where the grill smoke and sea breeze set the tone. Reviewers describe warm, unfussy service and platters that arrive fast, with one guest noting, "we chose our fish in the kitchen and it came out perfectly charred." The room is plain, but some tables look toward the water and mountains; a few diners mention a lively, locals-heavy crowd at peak times. The cooking leans classic Greek seafood: simply grilled fish, octopus in vinegar, bourdeto, and meze like tzatziki and skordalia. Fans praise the freshness of the catch and fair prices, while critiques cluster around calamari texture, occasional bitterness in mussels, and value of the mixed platter for two. Pasta and fried items draw the widest variance, so stick to the grill if you want the safest win. Families do well here thanks to fries, tomato-cucumber salads, simple grilled fish, and plain pastas. There is no explicit kids menu, but staff accommodate basics and portions are shareable. For picky eaters, aim for the grilled fish and fries; adventurous choices like bourdeto or garlicky spreads might be better for curious teens and adults.
